Postpartum family planning is considered a key intervention for the reduction of maternal mortality, especially when offered to populations of high-risk pregnant women or those who survive an event of extreme maternal morbidity. In the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply of health services in the region of the Americas has been affected, specifically those related to contraception, which is why a new strategy is necessary. This Spanish webinar promotes an initiative led by FIGO that is being implemented in Latin America with the support of PAHO/WHO, aimed at promoting the application of the postpartum IUD as a cost-effective strategy, which unfortunately does not have coverage expected by the resistance of some health workers, based more on myth than reality.
